Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Crushing the hazelnuts - use a food processor, Thermomix or rolling pin to finely crush the hazelnuts.
Type of cream - Toblerone truffles require thickened cream (as it's referred to in Australia) or heavy cream (as it's known in the US).
Chilling time - a MINIMUM of 6 hours is required to chill the mixture.
Storing the truffles - the truffles will last up to 1 week in an airtight container in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight before consuming.
Refrigerating the truffles - because they're made with cream, the truffles need to be refrigerated until you're ready to serve them.
